Yes, very welcome. With only a 4% water allocation at the moment, and therefore limited irrigation available, dairy farms are securing their feed supplies early for the coming hot, dry summer months.
It is very green, yes. It is actually lucerne (alfalfa) silage not hay. Silage is baled at higher moisture and still green. From here it goes straight to the dairy farm where they stack all the bales in a bunker and cover with plastic to keep it airtight.
Where I suspect you will be more than welcome.

DeleteThat irrigator looks a long one.
ReplyDeleteNice shot.
Looks like a fine area.
ReplyDeleteThat hay looks really good! We bought round bales that were not that great this year.

DeleteI've seen lots of hay baled around here on my walks - both the round and the square.
ReplyDeleteNice photo.
Nice hay. Hug B
ReplyDeleteI bet that is a heavy load! I read a comment above...I never dreamed about having to have feed for hot, dry summer months.
ReplyDeleteNice fresh hay :-)
